About this file
This is a Presolicitation Notice for a sole source procurement by the Department of Veterans Affairs, Veterans Health Administration, Network Contracting Office 10 (Central Region). The VA intends to award a firm-fixed price purchase order to Fuller Engineering Company, LLC, located in Carmel, Indiana, for ABB Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) to be supplied and delivered to the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center in Indianapolis, Indiana. The specific equipment consists of two ABB ACH580 15 HP, 23 AMP (NEMA 1 Vertical Bypass) VFDs and two ABB ACH580 30 HP, 44 AMP (NEMA 12 Boxed Bypass) VFDs, which will replace aging units in air handling units 37A and 37B that service the 4th floor operating room suites. The procurement includes VFDs, documentation, warranties, and start-up services. The NAICS code is 334512 (Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing) with a business size standard of 650 employees, and the product service code is 4140.
The Government's justification for sole sourcing rests on the urgent need to replace failing equipment that supports critical surgery operations, the requirement for ABB standardization across the Indianapolis VAMC campus, Fuller Engineering Company's prior experience with this equipment, their existing inventory enabling rapid delivery, and their capability to perform start-up testing. While not classified as an emergency, the failure of these units would halt surgical services, and there is no backup system. Interested parties may submit capability statements and evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government by the response deadline of 11:59 PM Eastern Time on May 12, 2026. Submissions must be directed to Contracting Officer Jeffrey Rozema at jeffrey.rozema@va.gov.

DESCRIPTION
INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE
The Department of Veterans Affairs, VHA Regional Procurement Office Central, Network Contracting Office 10, intends to enter into a sole source procurement for ABB Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center, 1481 W. 10th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202. The Department of Veterans Affairs intends to award a sole source, firm-fixed price purchase order to Fuller Engineering Company, LLC, 4135 W. 99th Street, Carmel, IN 46032. The associated North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 334512 – Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing for Residential, Commercial and Appliance Use, and the Business Size Standard is 650 employees.
The contractor will supply and deliver two (2) ABB ACH580 15 HP, 23 AMP (NEMA 1 Vertical Bypass) VFD’s and two (2) ABB ACH580 30 HP, 44 AMP (NEMA 12 Boxed Bypass) VFD’s to the Indianapolis VAMC to replace aging units in air handling units (AHU’s) 37A and 37B servicing the 4th floor operating room suites. Procurement includes VFD’s, documentation, warranties, and start-up services.
It is the Government’s belief that Fuller Engineering Company is the only vendor capable of providing the required VFDs and start-up services in the time required. For standardization purposes, the Indianapolis VAMC has selected VFDs manufactured by ABB as the campus standard. While this procurement is not classified as an emergency at this time, there is an urgent need to replace the VFDs to run the supply and return air fans for the surgery air handling units (AHUs). These units are in poor repair, require frequent maintenance, and are no longer fully compatible with the Building Management System as presently installed. We have no back up for these units. If these units cease operating, surgery cannot continue to provide services. The proposed vendor, Fuller Engineering Company, LLC, has performed services on this equipment in the past and is knowledgeable of the affected AHUs and ABB VFDs, has the ability to quickly deliver the VFDs as they have them in stock, and has the capability to perform the start-up testing.
This notice satisfies the requirement at FAR 5.101(c)(4)(vii) to publicize the proposed contract action. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposals or quotes. Interested parties may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement. A determination not to compete this requirement, based upon responses to this notice, is solely within the discretion of the Government.
Interested persons may identify their interests and capability to respond to this requirement no later than 11:59 PM Eastern Time, Tuesday, May 12, 2026. Any response to this notice must show clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government. Supporting evidence must be furnished in sufficient detail to demonstrate the ability to meet the subject requirement. This information shall be provided at no cost or obligation to the Government.
Interest/capability statements shall be submitted to Jeffrey Rozema, Contracting Officer, via e-mail at jeffrey.rozema@va.gov. Telephone inquiries will not be accepted.
